- This is great. You missed the entire point. In order to avoid doing
- "unpopular" and "politically incorrect" things, they did "legally"
- incorrect things. Why don't you try some "legally" incorrect
- things to "get the job done" and see how quickly you get a pardon.
-
- When Republicans break the law, you call it a "liberal-sponsored" witch
- hunt. So when the cops come after you, they will probably be liberals?
-
- So far, it is only Republican adminstrations that show a disdain
- for the law and a contempt for the public. If Clinton acts the same
- way, I will work to get him out as soon as possible.
